But maybe that's because my first name is Guido... ;-) Seriously, I expect Dan to lose without any effort on our part, but if we want to make an effort, I think that there could be some low-hanging fruit in inlining certain builtins (e.g. len, range, xrange) that as far as we know aren't shadowed by globals. Is that what you call non-local namespace optimizations? A new VM design would be a major upheaval, but if we can pull it off it would certainly not be a bad idea. John Aycock and some of his students have a design of a new VM that might be worth looking into. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
